Former Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger will make a managerial return to the dugout as the coach of the All-Star Saudi Arabian league team and their opponents will be PSG.

The Evening Standard reports that the Frenchman will manage a team of players comprising a combined Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr XI.

They will take on the French giants in the Riyadh Season Cup in January in Saudi city.

The game is scheduled for a time when the French Ligue 1 would be on break and it gives the French club the chance to show their stars to the Saudi Arabian public.

Wenger is expected to manage the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi, players he couldn’t sign during his time as the manager of Arsenal.

He has taken part in several charity matches since he left his job as the manager of Arsenal in 2018.

But the 71-year-old currently works as the chief of global football development at FIFA.

He has been in the news lately for trying to make some drastic changes to football as we know it, including playing a World Cup every two years.

Some of the players he signed for Arsenal are still at the Emirates, including Sead Kolasinac, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
